Thread: What does Wilson do this offseason?
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Jexus</b></div><div>If Karlsson, Couture, Hertl, Burns, Meier, Kane and Vlasic all play to their expected potential then we should have no problem with LA or Anaheim, should be competitive with Vancouver, Calgary and Vegas. This is still a really good team. They need to get on the same page and start strong. I fully expect one of Chmelevski, Leonard or even Merkley to break out this year.

If it all continues downhill then they need to consider trading a piece the core to shake it up and bring someone new in. I’m not concerned but i am in the minority here so go figure.</div></div>

Yeah, I agree on that. Lets hope! If they play to their potential and the new guys hop in the win train, it could easily be at least a playoff battle. I really want to believe! Go figure and Go Sharks.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Jexus</b></div><div>We still have the tools to be competitive as we did last year. I think Doug mean he would not sign any big contracts not that he wouldnt acquire anyone.

When we missed the playoffs in 2015 all we did the next season was acquire a bottom pair dman (Paul Martin) a bottom six depth forward (ward) and a Euro free agent who no one knew would be good (Joonas Donskoi). Spaling, Reimer and Polak, all depth players were added at the deadline. Wasnt that bad, we did reach the finals the next year.

I believe Doug will still grab a depth guy or two on cheap deals, we need RHD and a middle six RW unless he believes one of Chmelevski or Blichfeld will take one of those roles.

A permanent and forward thinking coach group who can instill a game plan from day one is going to be huge, the players seem to respond well to Boughner and if the netminders continue to improve as I think they will then we have a chance to make the playoffs at least and if were on track for the playoffs Doug will certainly add a piece via trade next season.</div></div>

Yeah, I see where you are coming from. Good take. I was just hoping the spark was a little more than Donato/Dubnyk. It is going to be a very competitive Pacific division this coming year with
-Anaheim/Kings getting younger and better
-Edmonton bringing a lot of potential pieces with already McDavid/Draisaitl
-Vancouver being potential beast with young elites
-Calgary taking step forward on goalie pov
-Arizona is the only meh
-Vegas probably being a force they already were (with Lehner now and Pietro probably (I dont know how) going there)

I know Sharks got a good group, but I always watch it from division perspective. Sharks was at the top 3 of the division every year for so long (without a cup), so its hard to accept its going to get harder.

Thread: Do SJS accept
I hate to start this conversation again, but to those that say Burns is really bad... they need to start watching some games and maybe understand the deeper meaning of the beast Brent Burns.
We all know he has the defensive liability tag, not gonna argue that. Also he had his best year in 2018-2019 and that wasn't even the year he won the Norris. Burns is much more than just a D-man, he is a hard working leader that some nights looks like a 20 year old winger with his dangles and offensive upside, and some nights he is a hard hitting D-man that never actually gets injured.
<strong>He is like a fine wine and somehow only gets better the older he gets</strong>. If you only take his last season to account, you are just lazy at seeing the bigger picture.
If Burns played for Toronto, I promise the team would be a lot better. I dare to even say that he can bring them to 2nd round or further. He has that experience with Sharks, that haven't got as good of a offence as Toronto. Its not just the points, its the experience. He is an elite for a reason.

And NO I don't want to see Burns gone. I like him as Shark and without him we wouldn't have the same success. But under the circumstances I would understand if they traded Brent Burns #88.
Sorry for the rant, but fans of other teams just see one bad season (because of a bad team) and it seems like all of sudden he is a new Dion Phaneuf in their eyes.

EDIT: Bad season meaning = 70games 12 goals 33 assists = 45points +/- = -22 (on a bad team all together)

Thread: NHL parody song lyrics
I don't know if this belongs to this thread, but if it doesn't feel free to remove it.

So, the point of this thread is to publish lyrics that describe your team (or other teams) and slightly change lyrics to refer your team.
The more popular song, the better. So people can really have fun with it. People can play the original song somewhere (YouTube, Spotify etc) or in their head and imagine the lyrics being there.
This thread has big inspiration from YouTube's Melody Martin that makes songs about Buffalo Sabres.

If this thread catches fire I'll post more myself.

This first one is just a test, not the greatest, but to get the idea.
<strong>Example: (Bon Jovi - Livin on a Prayer)

My song: San Jose Sharks - Livin' without a player (Pavelski)

Once upon a time just a season ago

Jumbo used to save us with pucks, league was on strike
He got team on his back, no cup, so tough
Patty works the body all day, working for his team
He gives all his time, for fans, for cup

Doug says, we've got to hold on to what we've got
It doesn't make a difference if we trade or not
We've got Ferraro and that's a lot for D
Burns just take the shot

Woah, we're just not there
Woah, livin' without a player
Give me the puck, I’ll blow it I swear
Woah, Livin without a player

Hertl got a smile on his face
Injuries holding back what he used to give on ice
So tough, oh he’s down
EK dreams of running away
When he cries in the rink, Doug whispers
Erik, it's okay, we’ll pay

We've got to hold on to players we've got
It doesn't make a difference if we shake it or not
We've got EK9 and that's a lot for the score
Vlasic please block the shot

Woah, we're just not there
Woah, 4th line got a player
Shake my hand, Labanc we’ll make it I swear
Woah, livin' without a player

-Solo
Oh, we've got a Logan, ready or not
When we get to the playoffs he’s all that we’ve got

etc.</strong>
